To examine the factors influencing compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction in obstetrics and gynaecology nurses and to explore the combined results of multiple factors.
An online cross-sectional study was conducted.
Data were collected from 311 nurses using a convenience sampling method from January to February 2022. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis and mediation tests were performed.
Compassion fatigue in obstetrics and gynaecology nurses was in the moderate to high levels. Physical status, number of children, emotional labour, lack of professional efficacy, emotional exhaustion and the none-only-child can influence compassion fatigue; lack of professional efficacy, cynicism, social support, work experience, employment status and night shift were predictive of compassion satisfaction. Social support partially mediated between lack of professional efficacy and compassion fatigue/compassion satisfaction; emotional labour moderated in the mediated analysis model.
Moderate to high levels of compassion fatigue was present in 75.88% of obstetrics and gynaecology nurses. Some factors affect compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction. Thus, nursing managers should consider factors and construct a monitoring system to reduce compassion fatigue and improve compassion satisfaction.
The results will provide a theoretical basis for improving job satisfaction and the quality of care in obstetrics and gynaecology nurses. And this may raise concerns about the occupational health of obstetrics and gynaecology nurses in China.
The study was reported according to the STROBE.
The nurses spent time filling out the questionnaires during the data collection phase and answered the questions sincerely. WHAT DOES THIS ARTICLE CONTRIBUTE TO THE WIDER GLOBAL CLINICAL COMMUNITY?: Obstetrics and gynaecology nurses with 4-16 years of experience are prone to experience compassion fatigue. The effect of lack of professional efficacy on compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction can be improved by social support.
Reducing nurse compassion fatigue and improving compassion satisfaction are important for providing quality nursing care to obstetrics and gynaecology patients. In addition, clarifying the influencing factors of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction can improve nurses' work efficiency and job satisfaction, and provide theoretical guidance for managers to implement interventions.
探讨妇产科护士同情心疲劳和同情心满足感的影响因素，并探讨多种因素的综合结果。
在线横断面研究。
采用便利抽样法，于 2022 年 1 月至 2 月，从 311 名护士中收集数据。采用逐步多元线性回归分析和中介检验进行分析。
妇产科护士的同情心疲劳处于中高度水平。身体状况、子女数量、情绪劳动、缺乏专业效能、情绪耗竭和非独生子女会影响同情心疲劳；缺乏专业效能、玩世不恭、社会支持、工作经验、就业状况和夜班是同情心满足的预测因素。社会支持在缺乏专业效能和同情心疲劳/满足感之间部分中介；情绪劳动在中介分析模型中起调节作用。
75.88%的妇产科护士存在中高度的同情心疲劳。一些因素影响同情心疲劳和同情心满足感。因此，护理管理者应考虑这些因素，并构建一个监测系统，以减少同情心疲劳，提高同情心满足感。
研究结果将为提高妇产科护士的工作满意度和护理质量提供理论依据。这可能会引起人们对中国妇产科护士职业健康的关注。
本研究按照 STROBE 报告。
护士在数据收集阶段花费时间填写问卷，并真诚地回答问题。
这对更广泛的全球临床社区有何贡献？：有 4-16 年工作经验的妇产科护士更容易经历同情心疲劳。社会支持可以改善缺乏专业效能对同情心疲劳和同情心满足感的影响。
减轻护士的同情心疲劳，提高同情心满足感，对为妇产科患者提供优质护理至关重要。此外，明确同情心疲劳和同情心满足感的影响因素可以提高护士的工作效率和工作满意度，为管理者实施干预措施提供理论指导。
